Great workplace, excellent benefits - Anonymous employee Menil Collection Employee Review

The staff are the greatest strength of this museum, by far. Other pros include: Very good health benefits for NGO Gorgeous workplace (campus of the Menil Collection) Place of high expectations, often delivering at exceptional levels The Director, though essentially addressed in "staff", is fantastic; Rebecca Rabinow is sharp, incredibly hard-working, good-humored, unpretentious, passionate, and invested in employee happiness. HR Director Suzanne Maloch is also terrific, and makes every new employee feel at home. Salaries are slightly above average for arts non-profits of medium size.

Salary, While still certainly higher than other arts organizations, you are still dealing with NGO pay. NGO employees don't get huge raises, bonuses, or commission. If you're working for the Menil, though, your priority is working in the arts at a high level. Vacation. While the Menil gets an A for benefits, This is the one area that keeps the perfect museum from being an A+ for staff. You only get four weeks of PTO after 10 years of employment. New employees get 2 weeks for five years, and then 3 between years five and 10. That said, the Menil pretty consistently does not hire managers and directors that have a "live-to-work" mentality. They expect excellence across the board, but there is a strong culture of non-toxic, understanding leadership.

The job was okay, maybe boring, and pays well enough.

Working with their radios sucked. They only allow to a 5 minute restroom break, to which you have to announce for everyone to hear, and it already takes 2 minutes to just get to the restroom. You get in trouble if you go past the 5 minutes, and YES, they do actually write the times out and keeps track. As for the employees, the ones that have been there a long time are much older and for it being a more progressive area-they hold a lot older views. They were not very lgbtq+ friendly.
